DGunn1 56 Posted June 30, 2020 Hi all, Was wondering what low profile steering servo's all super astute owners used, any recommendations? Presumably doesn't need to be high torque considering there's little weight up front, but happy to be corrected. Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MICHAELs TopForce17 586 Posted June 30, 2020 hobbyking ts d99x is good, have one in my top force. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathon Gillham 4606 Posted June 30, 2020 Yep the TS D99x is good, i use them in my TA07 and TRF102. Savox 1251MG seems to be the go to quality low profile servo, unless you want to spend heaps. I have a JX 4409MG in my Super Astute and Top Force. They are cheap and seem to work ok. Theses cars don't get run a huge amount so I didn't want to spend much on a servo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moffman 5752 Posted June 30, 2020 I used etronix 8.2kg/0.11s low profile metal gears, I'm very pleased with it super fast and only £18! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DGunn1 56 Posted July 3, 2020 Thanks all, will investigate the etronix one first. I'm unlikely to get much opportunity to run it so dont fancy spending too much on a servo. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I plug an s3003 into the same receiver and everything is fine. One thing I noticed is that with a servo horn I can easily turn the Futaba servo with my fingers but the SPT is very difficult to turn. Is that to be expected or maybe indicative of the problem with the SPT? I really want to get this SA built. Is there any way to make an s3003 work in it?

I just re-route the servo wiring under the battery. Foam tape raises the battery enough for wiring to run beneath it, then some aluminium tape over the wiring for tidiness. How's your build going, is there a thread for it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
